BianZhiDai is a font inspired by ASCII art shading character and 编织袋 (woven plastic bags). Initially constructed in GDC (glyphdrawingclub, made by @heikkiveikko and Ian Tuomi), BianZhiDai thrives in color, especially when you experiment with different fill/stroke combinations. Its modular nature, developed in Glyphs, allows for endless customization. Try it, play with it, and make it yours.
What’s new in the update?
bianzhidai 2.0 is an updated version, which is intended to provide a stead(ier) structure for the characters, more decorative/playful styles and (slightly) enhanced readbility. With ten styles: Base, Cube, Stitches, Ring, Pearl, Bubble, Messy, Messier, Brush, and Cloud. (Hooo, long list...) There is an additional 4 styles for a layered color font: bianzhidai_COLR back, side, front and hightlight. Hope you will enjoy it! ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
